Norman, Okla. ? Sherri Coale and Oklahoma have won a lot of games and earned plenty of respect in the Big 12 Conference over the past few seasons.

There has been an NCAA championship game appearance in 2002, three consecutive Big 12 regular-season titles and a league tournament championship.

Coale’s goals are a bit more modest this year: a season sweep of perennial national power Texas Tech will do just fine.

“That earns you some stripes,” the Sooners’ coach said after No. 23 Oklahoma beat the eighth-ranked Red Raiders, 64-53, Wednesday night.

The Sooners (18-7, 8-6 Big 12), who have won five of their last six games, swept the season series with the Red Raiders. Oklahoma beat Texas Tech, 68-62, Feb. 10 in Lubbock.

It was the Sooners’ third sweep of the Red Raiders in the past four years.

Point guard Dionnah Jackson matched a career high with 23 points to lead Oklahoma. Caton Hill had 11 points and seven rebounds and Maria Villarroel added 12 rebounds and seven points.

Texas Tech (23-5, 9-5), coming off a 73-68 shocker of then-No. 1 Texas on Sunday, shot just 31 percent.

The Red Raiders’ depth has been depleted by the loss of starting center Cisti Greenwalt to a broken ankle last week and star guard Jia Perkins to undisclosed medical reasons last month.

Tech only got eight points from its bench in Wednesday night’s loss.

“I think the challenge for this group is to grow up and handle success and failure both, and figure out you have to have a certain mentality every time,” Tech coach Marsha Sharp said.

No. 5 Texas 73,

No. 16 Baylor 72, 2OT

Austin, Texas — Jamie Carey hit two three-pointers in the second overtime to send fifth-ranked Texas to a 73-72 win over No. 16 Baylor on Wednesday night to keep the nation’s longest home winning streak intact. Heather Schreiber scored 20 points to lead Texas (24-3, 12-2 Big 12) and Stacy Stephens added 15 points and 22 rebounds. Texas has won 33 in a row at home. Sophia Young had 18 points and 15 rebounds for Baylor (20-7, 8-6).

No. 9 Kansas State 68, Iowa State 33

Manhattan — Kendra Wecker had 20 points and 11 rebounds, and ninth-ranked Kansas State beat Iowa State for its ninth straight victory. The Wildcats (22-3, 13-1 Big 12) started the second half with an 18-2 run to an insurmountable 49-24 lead. They made 4-of-5 three-pointers during the surge and got their 31st straight regular-season victory at home. Iowa State (13-12, 6-8) came back from a 19-point deficit in the first half, but couldn’t mount another rally. Katie Robinette led the Cyclones, who had won three in a row, with 20 points. Nicole Ohlde added 12 points for Kansas State, and Laurie Koehn and Brie Madden had 10 apiece.

Missouri 78, Nebraska 76

Lincoln, Neb. — Freshman center EeTisha Riddle hit a pair of baskets in the final 1:27, and Missouri came back from a 15-point deficit to defeat Nebraska.
